Exploring the Prefix ‘re-‘ – Define a prefix – A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a root word. – Prefixes change word meanings – They modify the original word’s meaning, often in a specific way. – ‘re-‘ means ‘again’ or ‘back’ – Words like ‘return’ or ‘redo’ show actions being repeated. – Examples with ‘re-‘ – ‘Reheat’ to warm again, ‘rewrite’ to write once more. | This slide introduces the concept of prefixes, focusing on ‘re-‘ as an example. A prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word to alter its meaning. For instance, adding ‘re-‘ to the beginning of a word can indicate that an action is being done again, such as in ‘redo’ or ‘replay’, or that something is moving back to a previous state, as in ‘reverse’ or ‘return’. Provide students with examples and ask them to come up with their own words using the prefix ‘re-‘. This will help them understand how prefixes function and see the pattern in how they change the meanings of words.

Exploring ‘re-‘: Prefix Power – ‘re-‘ means ‘again’ or ‘back’ – Examples: redo, return, replay, rewind – ‘redo’: to do again, ‘return’: to go back, ‘replay’: to play again, ‘rewind’: to wind back – Group Activity: Dissect words with ‘re-‘ – Find the base word, then add ‘re-‘ to discuss the new meaning – Discuss ‘re-‘ impact on meaning – How does adding ‘re-‘ change the word’s function? | This slide introduces the prefix ‘re-‘ and its common meaning of ‘again’ or ‘back’. Provide examples to illustrate how ‘re-‘ modifies the meaning of base words. The group activity encourages students to identify base words and explore the altered meanings when ‘re-‘ is added. Facilitate a discussion on how ‘re-‘ changes the function of words in sentences. For the activity, divide the class into small groups and assign different ‘re-‘ words to each group. Possible activities: creating sentences with both the base word and the new ‘re-‘ word, acting out the meanings, or drawing representations of the words’ meanings.

Using ‘re-‘ in Sentences – Crafting sentences with ‘re-‘ words – Use ‘re-‘ words like ‘rewrite’ or ‘replay’ to make new sentences. – Grasping context and usage of ‘re-‘ – ‘Re-‘ often means ‘again’ or ‘back’, as in ‘return’ or ‘rethink’. – Class activity: Pair and share sentences – Find a partner, create sentences with ‘re-‘ words, and discuss. | This slide is aimed at helping students understand the use of the prefix ‘re-‘ and how it alters the meaning of a word. Start by explaining that ‘re-‘ typically means ‘again’ or ‘back’, and can be used to indicate repetition or reversal. Encourage students to create their own sentences using ‘re-‘ words to reinforce their understanding. For the class activity, students will pair up to share the sentences they’ve created, providing an opportunity to practice speaking and listening skills, as well as to learn from each other’s examples. As a teacher, circulate the room to offer guidance and ensure that each pair is discussing the usage of ‘re-‘ correctly. Possible activities could include rewriting a story’s ending, replaying a part of a game, returning to a previous lesson’s topic, or rethinking an answer to a problem.

Prefix ‘re-‘ Game: Race to ‘re-‘ – Form teams for ‘Race to ‘re-‘ game – Create new words with ‘re-‘ prefix – For example, ‘redo’, ‘replay’, ‘return’ – Write sentences using ‘re-‘ words – Put your ‘re-‘ word in a sentence – Share and discuss team sentences – Explain the usage of ‘re-‘ in your sentences | This interactive classroom activity is designed to help students understand and practice using the prefix ‘re-‘. Divide the class into small teams and explain the rules of the ‘Race to ‘re-‘ game, where each team competes to come up with the most original ‘re-‘ words. Encourage creativity and ensure that students understand the meaning of the prefix ‘re-‘ as ‘again’ or ‘back’. After creating the words, each team will write sentences using their new ‘re-‘ words, which helps in contextualizing their understanding. Finally, have each team share their sentences with the class, fostering a discussion on the usage of ‘re-‘ and how it changes the meaning of the base word. This activity not only reinforces vocabulary skills but also promotes teamwork and communication.

Class Activity: ‘Re-‘ Word Creation – Create a list of ‘re-‘ prefix words – Write a creative sentence for each – Choose your best sentence to share – Discuss the meaning of ‘re-‘ words – ‘Re-‘ often means ‘again’ or ‘back’, like in ‘return’ or ‘redo’ | This activity is designed to help students understand and practice using the prefix ‘re-‘. Students will create a list of words that start with ‘re-‘ and use them in their own creative sentences. This will enhance their vocabulary and understanding of how the prefix alters the meaning of a word. Encourage students to think about how ‘re-‘ changes the base word and to be prepared to explain their sentences when sharing with the class. For the teacher: Have a list of ‘re-‘ words ready as examples, and be prepared to guide students who may struggle with sentence creation. Possible activities include rewriting a story by changing verbs to include the ‘re-‘ prefix, creating a poem with ‘re-‘ words, or drawing a comic strip that illustrates the meaning of ‘re-‘ words.

Wrapping Up: The Power of ‘re-‘ – Recap: ‘re-‘ prefix meaning – ‘re-‘ often means ‘again’ or ‘back’, altering the word’s original meaning. – Homework: Craft a short story – Use 10 ‘re-‘ words to show understanding of their meanings in context. – Include 10 words with ‘re-‘ – Remember: Practice is key! | As we conclude today’s lesson, remind students of the ‘re-‘ prefix and how it can change the meaning of a word by indicating repetition or reversal. For homework, students should write a short story incorporating at least 10 words that start with ‘re-‘. This will help them understand and remember the impact of the prefix on word meanings. Encourage creativity and the use of a variety of ‘re-‘ words. Emphasize that practicing with these words in a narrative context will help solidify their understanding of the prefix and its usage.
